    68. Racking Up Points with Chase Spending Offers
    Jun 17 2024

    If you have a high monthly credit card spend and want to leverage these expenses to earn even more points, this episode is for you. Signup bonuses are the easiest way to earn a huge points return for every dollar spent, but what I'm sharing today allows you to expand upon this strategy, sometimes with relatively little effort, and earn more points without needing to take out new cards and rely on welcome bonuses.

    Tune in this week to learn everything you need to know about Chase Spending Offers. I discuss how Chase Spending Offers make already strong points-earning cards even better, and you'll learn not only how Chase Spending Offers work but also how to integrate them into your overall points strategy.

Leverage your everyday spend for upgraded travel!!

As a busy professional, I don't have time for a side hustle or extra business... but the credit-card-points game makes me feel like I have one. Until I found PMTFC, I didn't realize how much there was to gain from simply leveraging my everyday expenses. I have learned so much from Devon Gimbel and this podcast is a great supplement to everything I have learned so far. Whether you're starting from the beginning (how to maximize points earning) or looking for advanced tips (how to get the best points redemptions for high end travel), this is the podcast for you! Highly recommend!
